"Regulators Investigate Fatal Texas Crash Involving Ford's Automated System"

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that the driver of a Mustang Mach-E involved in a fatal crash in Texas in February was using Ford’s hands-free driver-assistance system, BlueCruise. This marks the first known fatality involving the use of BlueCruise, raising concerns about the system's safety. The NTSB is also investigating a second fatal crash near Philadelphia where Ford’s driver-assistance system may have been active, prompting comparisons to Tesla's Autopilot issues. The NTSB released a preliminary report and is continuing its investigation, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is also probing the Texas crash. Ford declined to comment on the new information from the NTSB.
